Came in for their Sunday brunch buffet and it was honestly really great for what it was. Affordable and decent options to satisfy our cravings

Good is always wonderful and as authentic as it gets!! Anywhere from Shepherds Pie to Fiah n Chips.. You will not be disappointed with this Irish Pub! Beautiful inside and out. Service is always outstanding as well!

We finally stopped in to the Irish restaurant Brian Boru located off of Richie Highway. Tucked behind a few trees you could easily miss it, but we're glad we found it. We wanted fish and chips for dinner and we can easily say that it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and checked in with us multiple times ensuring that we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated and cozy inside. There were several rooms to be seated in making for a comfortable evening. My wife had an Irish coffee after dinner and in her words they did not skimp on the whiskey! The menu had many other dishes that sounded good so we plan to be back.

After coming here for 10+ years, I do not think I will be returning. Service was slow, all the ingredients felt cheaper and poorly prepared, and I'm personally not a fan of being charged an exorbitant additional credit card processing fee on top of that. The food is not what it once was, hoping they can turn things around but cutting costs on ingredients tends to be the sign of downturn for Severna park restaurants. Also the music was too loud, I could barely have a conversation at the table.

Always consistently delicious. Friendly staff, authentic decor, you simply won't find a more welcoming experience. The flatbread was enormous; our server said that it has proven so popular that it will be moving from a special to a regular menu item. My Guinness was perfectly poured, though I expect nothing less from one of the Irish restaurant group's restaurants.

Absolutely delicious food! Came here one night with my roommate and friend after we did an escape room in the same shopping center. I had the Shepards Pie, and OMG...So delicious! The drinks are great, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is super friendly!

Ok. I've been back many times since my first review. The service is always great here. Even at busy…read moretimes, I never have to wait for a table, the orders are right, and come out reasonably fast. Now the food. Always on point. I'm pretty simple, and they do simple well every time. The killer is the racetrack soup. It's an amazing beef base soup, that's not overly fancy. I always get at least a bowl, if not a bowl plus a take home bowl. Johnny's is on my regular rotation of diners in Pasadena for sure!!!

This was our second time visiting Johnny's. I didn't take pictures of the first time because we…read morewere at the sour beef and dumplings night that another Yelper was unhappy with and the friend we were with got the last order of that dish, so I do understand her unhappiness because my friend quite enjoyed the dish. Funny thing is the night they offered that, I had made it for my husband and he had the leftovers for his lunch, so he opted for a salad that night. In the restaurants defense, as someone that makes the dish, it takes some space to marinate the meat for a few days and maybe that's the problem....but honestly I tasted the gravy on her dish and it was great, so I understand her disappointment and maybe Jimmy's needs to reevaluate having that or finding a way to accommodate other diners. So we went for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We are always looking for places to eat on the weekends, and there are just not enough breakfast places in the area. We walked in at around 8 and they still weren't real busy. We got a nice booth and were served coffee and our server got our order pretty quick. Johnny's is diner like, so everything is on your table ready to go....and what I really liked is that I didn't have to ask anyone to get a Tabasco sauce for me. It was already on the table! Both my husband and I ordered sausage and swiss omelettes. They both came out cooked done and hot with just the right about of cheese. I know a lot of places we go seem to be skimping on that, but we want to taste it in our bite and we did! Our server refilled our coffee and was very pleasant. There is nothing like the hometown vibe that are in small restaurants and this one is no exception.
